I’ve actually done this many a time when I was living in NJ, and, even now, if I’m visiting and wanting to go in the city, I’ll drive up to North Jersey, park, and hop the train (sometimes the water taxi). Though I usually park in Hoboken
Migrants taking trains from New Jersey to NYC after bus arrivals restricted: officials
After New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) restricted bus arrivals last week in an effort to curb a surge of migrants, bus operators appear to have found a loophole by dropping migrants off at a New Jersey train station from which they can continue on into the city.
Under an executive order announced last week, Adams is requiring bus operators who are aware they are transporting migrants with fares paid for “by a third party” to provide the city with notice at least 32 hours ahead of their anticipated arrival. However, New Jersey officials say bus drivers have found a way around the new restrictions by dropping off the migrants at Secaucus Junction Train Station — about a 15-minute ride from New York City.
Tyler Jones, a spokesperson from New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s (D) office, said bus operators are also dropping off migrants at train stations throughout the state.
“Our Administration has tracked the recent arrival of a handful buses of migrant families at various NJ TRANSIT train stations,” Jones said in a statement to The Hill. “New Jersey is primarily being used as a transit point for these families — all or nearly all of them continued with their travels en route to their final destination of New York City.”
Did the mayor of Sanctuary City New York think he was going to beat Greg Abbott? Did Adams think the folks coordinating this for Texas wouldn’t find a way around? Why is SCNY not being welcoming of any and all illegals?
And in Illinois
(CNN) A plane with more than 350 asylum-seekers onboard arrived early Sunday morning at an airport near Chicago from Texas, according to officials, part of the state’s monthslong effort to send thousands of migrants to major cities around the country with little notice.
The City of Rockford said in a Facebook post Winnebago County Sheriff Gary Caruana, Winnebago County Board Chairman Joe Chiarelli, and Rockford Mayor Tom McNamara received word a plane carrying migrants would land at Rockford International Airport Saturday night.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said Sunday on X, formerly known as Twitter, “there was no communication from Texas” and City of Chicago officials first learned about the flight from San Antonio from Rockford authorities.
Yeah, well, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico aren’t exactly getting a lot of notification, nor are the smaller town around the country who have illegals dumped on them by the Biden regime. Illinois is a declared sanctuary state, so, Rockford can’t exactly protest. Though I hope they shipped them all to Chicago. Or, maybe they can ship them off to Springfield, which is the capitol. It’s around 200 miles, but, shouldn’t the governor and general assembly share the burden?

A little-known judicial advocacy organization funded by left-wing nonprofits is quietly training judges nationwide on how to handle cases related to climate change, according to a Fox News Digital review.
One group says there’s a straightforward way to make big progress in the fight against climate change: Everyone, everywhere should just stop eating meat. And all animal products.
U.S. immigration officials along the southern border are on track to process more than 300,000 migrants in December, an all-time monthly high that will likely include record numbers of families traveling with children, according to internal government data obtained by CBS News.
Chicago’s mayor has decided to use the city’s budget surplus of $95 million to accommodate the mounting costs of the thousands of illegal migrants pouring into the city.
Bye-bye, bubbly?
